Pacing the ladies

So I'm in my second year of breeding, and my experience is still limited. I only had one successful pairing last year (tried for two, but my second female had already ovulated by the time I paired her with my male). Anyways, it's been almost exactly a year since my girl who went last year was paired, and I'm considering trying her again.

What I'm wondering however, is if it's inappropriate to breed females in consecutive years. My veteran mom is at a healthy weight, but I know that breeding can be taxing on a female's body, especially considering the fact that she was a young (albeit successful) breeder last year. Am I being overly conservative?

Also, what's a good retirement age for moms?

Thanks!

I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
